The bullying attitude of the internet.

"The internet isn't for pussies, if you can't handle it, you shouldn't be here".

B-But.. I thought the internet was for PORN!

I'm starting to think I'm rather desce.. decens... I'm used to it. Not that I promote such behavior or think it's appropriate, but whenever such behavior is directed towards myself I think I just take it in stride.

Then again, I more-or-less a lurker so I rarely end up in any such confrontations. Only problem I can recall, and this is aimed towards YouTube, is that many of the people who viewed my old Battle Theater videos of SoulCalibur III would make fun of my playing ability.. even though that "Battle Theater" was strictly CPU vs CPU (and the title of the mode appears during the match up screen between characters). Now, if anyone commenting didn't know that, then I can forgive them their mistake. Thankfully a few other members of the site have countered such comments with what I said about the video being between two computer-controlled characters.

(Now if anyone makes fun of my recent SoulCalibur IV videos, which IS of me playing online.. ha, well, I know I'm mediocre at worst, average at best; I'm sorry I'm not a pro, I just like casual matches.. well, until my data gor corrupted and deleted)

To quote the internet, "Pics or it didn't happen." If you can't even remember the name of the comic, I choose to take this as a apocryphal tale with no basis in reality. You've not even provided enough for me to make a serious attempt at researching it myself. Hell, a general time frame would have been useful. I'd think their creation of Child's Play would more than make up for one incident you can't even remember, though. Otherwise, that's some pretty serious grudge-holding for no reason. Most illogical.

I think it was 8 bit theater.
So doing good works doesn't magically make them saints. They were jerks. No one's perfect.
Don't dismiss my feelings. That's very rude. Holding a grudge against jerks is not illogical. I also don't like their comic, so there is no reason to frequent it.

Since I can find literally no trace of any beef between Brian Clevinger and Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik, I again say, I think this is imagined.

He might be thinking of this:

On Wednesday September 21, 2005, Clevinger attempted a "hostile takeover" of Ctrl+Alt+Del. The result was a brief outpouring of "resistance" in support of Tim Buckley, the author of the "seized" webcomic. This aid kept coming even as the news posts on both sides became more and more outrageous.

But that was a joke and not even with Penny Arcade.

CAD sucks anyways, and everyone knows Buckley's an ass. His miscarriage storyline proves that. If anyone (besides Yahtzee) was to really pick a fight with him, I'd do whatever I could to support them.
